READING SCHOLARSHIP
Sixth Form student awarded for academic achievement
We are absolutely thrilled for
Adam Thomas in Year 13
who has been awarded a
reading list scholarship from
The Reading List Foundation.
Textbooks should not be a
luxury!
80% of students said the
scholarship made a ‘very
big’ or ‘fairly big’
difference to their first
year at university.
Reading List Foundation
The Reading List Foundation
exists to inspire the
generations of graduates who
received a free university
education to help support
those who are following in
their footsteps, while facing
much greater financial
pressures. The Reading List
Foundation helps exceptional
Year 13 students from lower-
income families succeed at
university, by paying for their
first year textbooks, providing
practical, financial and
emotional help. The
scholarship is for £250,
around the average cost of a
student’s first year Reading
List, which is roughly what a
student spends on textbooks
in a year.
Adam was awarded this
scholarship for his dedication
to his studies and his
outstanding academic
achievement in his A-levels,
particularly during the
challenging last two years.
The award was presented to
Adam by Mrs Prydden, Head
of Sixth Form, during the Year
13 Leavers’ Celebration on
Monday 6th June.
This scholarship will greatly
help Adam who hopes to go
on to study history at
university in September.
